Do not use your coffee pot to refill the water reservoir for any coffee maker. Coffee is hydrophobic and despite looking clean that coffee pot likely has coffee oils on it. Perhaps you do a deep cleaning every time, but adding coffee oil to the internals of a coffee machine isn't a great idea. Despi

Some observations: I do not know how to cover 4 American football fields of booths in 3 days. I could do it in 5 days. Spending longer than 7-12 minutes at any one booth/company is a major commitment of time in this context. Lance was there. Doug was there. Weber booth was very customer focused and

It’s no different than any other drip coffee maker with regard to process. It just happens to be popular with coffee drinkers that enjoy complicating things. You can use it just like you did your cheap coffee maker before the keurig or the Bunn. The Bunn HB will make just as good coffee, if you had

I will say this is a dumb dumb post but this carafe actually belongs to a somewhat fancy coffee maker. It’s a Moccamaster, which brews somewhat similar to pour over coffee compared to your average Mr. Coffee. But I’m still a hater. If you’re gonna drink iced coffee, get a cold brew maker.

There are a fair number consistent temp, shower head / multi-hole style drip, reliable, SCA certifi

My advice is pick one aspect at a time and tackle that... trying to do everything at once will drive you crazy. Then repeat. Honestly, I think if you are really serious about avoiding plastics and toxins of all sorts, consider going whole food plant based. Not necessarily total vegan, but dramatical

He's got a water softening system. He's choosing to use well water to make coffee and he's destroyed on average, 1 Moccamaster per year through abuse and questionable maintenance for the past 4 years. And he alleges the manufacturer has poor build quality. I knew Technivorm had great customer servic

I think if I'm honest with myself, I can't find a huge difference between drip coffee makers. These forums are filled with people willing to spend way more than me, on coffee stuff. Yes pour over can be better if you do it right, just take lots of practice. Espresso is great if your willing to exper
